DickiesMen's Sanded Duck Sherpa Lined Hooded Jacket

These are my favorite work jacket. About 7 years ago I bought one and wore it for everything (work and casual) and washed it whenever it needed it which was often.. It lasted 3 years of hard use and I sort of felt like it should have lasted longer at the time. I blamed it on the lighter fabric, but it was always warm, At the time I thought it should have rib knit on bottom of jacket to keep draft out. It fit well and the hood is almost as warm as a hat. The cuffs are right for work with very durable rib knit recessed under shell, with snap adjustments. Heavy brass zipper. After it was worn through on sleeves and front pocket areas, I retired it to cover and insulate our booster pump.When I retired the Dickies I was given a Carharrt by my work which had a great design and 12 oz duck fabric, I thought it would be better and last longer. It was size XL where my dickies was large, and the Carharrt was fleece lined. Within 6 months of what I considered careful light use, the Carharrt was worn through in places. First the arm just from putting my arm in window of truck I patched it and babied it. Kept using it but would take it off sooner than later while working, brush instead of washing when possible, keep it out of harms way. It is 2+ years old and frayed on folds and patched ingeniously at cuffs, inside the pockets and there is some new wearthrough on the arms I don't think I can patch The only thing that looks unworn is the back which should tell you something. It hasn't seen a lot of sitting down. It was never as warm as the dickies. I trusted it more with barbed wire and brush work, but the material wore faster than the dickies for some reason and never as warm or comfortable. I liked it though, and the pockets were great and shape/design was great. I tried many other work jackets and military jackets, and finally concluded the Dickies TJ350 (this jacket) is best all in all and lasts as long as any of them (lasted me longer). So I ordered one as season is winding down. It fits exactly like the old one. I wore it on a walk this morning at about 30 degrees before sun was out and it is warm. Same as my old one, outer fabric feels light which used to worry me, and small draft at bottom when starting activity, but not as much as other jackets, and I know from "longitudinal" use under rigorous conditions, the lighter duck fabric lasts at least as long as heavier duck; longer in my experience. It might be because it is more flexible and there is less abrasion when it moves? The pockets are not as "modern" but it has everything you really need (pen loop and side zip front would be nice but oh well) and is has a light lining in the hand-warmer pockets. I am going to buy a few backups of these as good deals come up and be smarter about patching and using them. They are great. It is possible there is a tougher jacket out there, (maybe the walls Kevlar or the Carharrt cordura extremes?), but I have a new respect for this jacket. and it is a good feeling to go back to it. The fit and warmth are identical to my old one. If you cant tell, I got a little obsessed with this, but when I have to do deal with cold and money was so tight, It was very important to me. Heavyweight base layers and light warm mid layers are worth knowing about too, but this jacket is warm and comfortable all on its own.

Good

Great jacket fits perfect. More important question. Where will you soend eternity? Here's a quick test. Ever told a lie, stolen anything, or used God's name in vain? Jesus said, "Whoever looks with lust has already committed adultery in their heart." Have you looked with lust? Will you be guilty on Judgment Day? If you have done those things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart. Thats only a few of Gods 10 commandments! The Bible warns that if you are guilty you will end up in Hell. That's not God's will. He sent His Son to suffer and die on the cross for you. You broke God's Law, but Jesus paid your fine. That means He can legally dismiss your case. He can commute your death sentence: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Then Jesus rose from the dead and defeated death, proving He was God in flesh. John 14:6 Please, REPENT (turn from sin) today and trust in Jesus alone, and God will grant you the gift of everlasting life. Then read your Bible daily and obey it. Without putting our faith in Jesus, we are responsible to pay for our own sins! Hell is eternal and there is no oooops once we die. Eternity can be one heartbeat away!

Now before i go into detail, I work in I.T. so i don't do a lot of outdoor work or labor intensive stuff. So just take that into consideration. I've never had a Carhartt jacket, though I've seen them and they looked really nice, but if you don't want to pay for the name Carhartt to be on your jacket, get one of these.That being said, even if i was to be working outside a lot and doing some ruff tuff work, i wouldn't be worried that this jacket would get torn up. It seems pretty tough to me. I use it as my winter jacket and its perfect for that. The sherpa lining on the inside around the torso is wonderful for those bitter cold days. I live in Ohio, so we get some pretty cold winters. I wore this even when it was about 5 degrees outside and it still kept me warm.This coat has plenty of pocket space. The outer pockets can keep your hands warm, I'd recommend wearing gloves on those really cold days. If it's in the 30's outside you could get away without wearing gloves. The inner pocket is nice. I sometimes keep my phone in there or whatever. It can zip shut so thats really nice too.This jacket is more than worth the money. Its built tough and really warm. It fits really nice too. I'm 6'1" and i got the extra large. Not too big, not too small. I love when its cold outside, then i get an excuse to wear this coat. I'd definitely recommend to a friend

Overall great product, I think it might be a must-have for winter, not so suitable for fall though as it is really heavy. Great quality, the sleeves have a funny oversize, but I think that's the rule with workwear.

I ordered this jacket for my teenage son. It’s heavy duty, stylish and warm, he loves it! The inside pockets are a nice addition to store a phone and keys. The sleeves are long which is nice as some jackets can be on shorter side. Thanks for offering a great price compared to others!

Nice coat!! Looks good on, warm and the inside pockets for your phone, are a plus, there's 3 pockets in total, for wallet, credit cards etc... looks like it will wash nice. Worth the money, true to size, so buy the actual size you wear.Thanks Amazon!!

I bought this coat at least 4-5 years ago and I’ve finally worn it out so I just got a new one. I highly recommend this coat, it’s super warm and comfortable and takes quite a beating. I compared this one vs the Carthart and for the money I think this Dickies coat is superior
